Wonder Woman address book. Fabulous beyond spangly tights!

teddy bear slippers. cute beyond sickly. oh yes. :laughs manically:

And to all those insane enough to shop on Boxing Day : FREEEEEEAAAAKKKKKS!
Four. Shops. Open. in Reading. Virgin, WHSmiths, Woolies, and Millets. Yours truly was behind the till at Virgin, and people were actually bloody well waiting to come in when we opened the door at 10am. We were busy. Christ, even the buses had the sense not to run on Boxing Day. Football and Racing is allowed, they're traditional, but shopping? you're insane, you're all insane.

Honourable mention to the new adaptation on The Hound of the Baskervilles on the BBC. Damn good, nicely atmospheric and period detailed, decent acting and script, but the slash! The slash, ladies and gentlemen, there was saunas, h/c, drug abuse, bitching, anger at being left out of things, strops, Richard E Grant going on about perfect skulls, and the presence of Ian Hart did not help. He makes slashy anything he's in anyway, without the presence of a rather delectable Richard Roxborough. Plus, added bonus of no deerstalkers and no pipes. Cigarettes and square bowlers like the text rather than going all Basil Rathbone on us.

I have my first Robin of Sherwood DVDs. :smirk: Season 3 parts 1 and 2, aka the Jason Connery ones (blond bloke, disliked by the Praed supporters, the Robert of Huntingdon part of the Hooded Man legend). Still contains one of the best fucking drunken fight scenes ever, plus I rather like him. Less airy-fairy than Praed, so it depends what mood I'm in on which ones I want to watch. But ohhhh, pretty. No-one at work understands my obsession. Heathens.
